John Glick Obituary

I went to high school with John, and we dated for two years. I can't believe this has happened, it doesn't seem real. I hadn't spoken to him in over ten years, but it looks like his love for life only grew as the years went on. He deserved many, many more years, and there aren't any words to express how tragic it is that he didn't get to live them. My deepest condolences to the Glick Family, Dr. and Mrs. Glick, Emily and Mark, Peter and Kirsten, Katie, I am so sorry.

John & I were close friends since high school at BB&N. I can't express how shocked and sad I feel right now. My heart goes out to Becky, the Glick family, and all who loved him -- there are many of us.

I still can't believe this really happened, even after spending five days together with John's friends and family, crying, remembering, laughing, and crying some more. I think we all still think we're going to wake up from this nightmare, and John, Doug, and Michael will still be with us.



John was a truly special guy, someone who made you feel like you were his best friend. I only knew him for about six years, but five of those years were spent as a bandmate in The Returnables, which allowed us to share many wonderful, strange, crazy, and incredible times together. John has given me countless memories that I will cherish forever.



John and Becky, I love you guys, and always will. Peace to you both.



To quote one of John's lyrics, "It's not like it was when he was here". It sure isn't. And that sucks.

Becky,

It has been so long since I have seen you or John, and even longer since our "crazy days" in Madison, but when I heard the sad news from Tina, I wanted to let you know how truly sorry I am for your loss. You and John had the kind of relationship I'd always hoped for. I cannot imagine your loss, and although I know there is nothing I can say to take away your pain, please know that I am thinking of you.

Sad that it takes a funeral to realize how valuable your friends are. Thanks to Ben, Adam and JBI for saying what so many of us also feel about John. He was a one-of-a-kind genuine spirit that will be sorely missed. I hope Becky and the Glick family find peace in coming to terms with their unbelievable loss. Terrible.

Dear Becky and Family,

My deepest sympathies go out to you during this terrible time. Words cannot express the sorrow that fills my heart. I lived with John during my last year in Madison and loved every moment of it. John was the most spirited and brightest of friends - full of humor, curiosity, and grace. I'll always remember his laughter, music, and smile.

With all of my love, Kristin

Becky,

I am so sorry. My thoughts are with you. I'll always rememeber John because he always remembered me! We'd see each other at shows, stop and say, "Hey!" and give each other that "I know you" up and down sorta look. To me that is a real testament of just what a nice guy he was. My heart goes out to you and all related. Much warmth and light to all. -Tina

We were saddened to learn of your loss. Please accept our deepest sympathy. Dr. William Simon Dr. Angela M. Ferry and staff

I have so many great memories of hanging out with John. I always looked forward to him playing in Madison and crashing on my couch. You will remain in my heart for the rest of my days, John.

The tragic news of John's untimely passing hit me hard. I first met John in front of the Humanities building the year he transfered to UW from Sarah Lawrence. Though he was a passing aquaintence since our days in Madison, I enjoyed talking music with him, getting regular band updates via email, and seeing the Returnables perform around town.

My profound condolences to the Glick family in this difficult time

I'm am deeply saddened by your loss. Please accept my condolences.

Sending Becky and all of John's family and loved ones my most heartfelt sympathy. John's genuine brightness, goodness and love of people, music and life will forever stay with us. With love, Rhiannon

To The Glick Family:

I worked with John for several years at Mad City Music in Madison. He was a great guy - I am stunned and heartbroken. My deepest condolences to all of you.

I met John in a Philosophy class at the UW in Madison back in 1993. I enjoyed talking with him about the course. What was funny, was that we both found out we were in bands. I can remember the countless times we saw each other playout and the thing that sticks out most in my mind was John's tireless energy to get up and rock! He also was also one of the most friendly rockers that I ever met. He personality and charm really made me happy to see him. I will dearly miss John and my sympathy goes out to those in his close circle of family and friends.



Love, Andy Larson

I am so sorry for your loss.

Becky and the Glick family:



I am so sorry to hear about your loss, I spent time with John in Madison and admired his attitude towards life and music. My condolences to his friends and family.

John was very pleasant to work with and a wonderful person. He will be in my family's prayers.

My deepest sympathy to Johns' family, friends and wife Rebecca. I knew John through working with him at Shure and talking with him about the movie I spotted him in on IFC, 'Running With the Bulls'. He always had a smile on his face and a bounce in his step. He will be sorely missed. All of you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Please accept my heartfelt condolences. When healing time is over, may the wonderful memories take its place.

John was a much-beloved member of our school community for several years. His generous spirit was known and felt by many. We hold him in our hearts and you in our prayers.
